Certainly, its very essence helped to ensure that Germany
would not be able to attack anyone, including France. The demand for astronomical
reparations to be paid to nations in Europe was one such inclusion that made it very
difficult for Germany to attack anyone. The idea of Germany having to pay off this debt
would have taken such a long time and would have exacted such a cost that it would be
rather inconceivable for Germany to attack France, or any other nation. France's own
demand for the Saar Basin also helped to minimize the chance that Germany could rearm
itself for an attack against other nations, as coal was important and vital to any war
effort. The consolidation of political and national power against Germany as a result
of the Treaty also helped to ensure that there could be little opportunity to allow
Germany to reload and launch any attack nations such as France. Given how the demands
of the Treaty were imposed upon Germany, it seems unlikely that Germany would have had
the capacity to launch any sort of attack, and this became the primary motivation of
nations like England and France in drafting the Treaty.
